Is This Cubs Rotation LACKING Excitement, Or Is It Built To WIN Consistently?
On today’s CHGO Cubs Podcast, the crew breaks down the current state of the Cubs’ pitching staff and asks the tough question: is this rotation lacking excitement, or is it built to win consistently? With Justin Steele hopefully returning this season, plus arms like Cade Horton, Shota Imanaga, Jameson Taillon, and Matthew Boyd, the Cubs have plenty of depth — but do they have enough star power? Is there a true ace leading the rotation? Can Cade Horton take the next step? Will Imanaga bounce back to elite form? And does reliability get mistaken for “boring” in today’s MLB? The guys dig into expectations, upside, and what this pitching staff still needs to prove in 2026.
